1 Medi-Cal s Most Costly FFS Populations A Look At The Population, Costs, And Diseases Prepared by DHCS Research and Analytical Studies Section 1
2 Which Populations Drive Medi-Cal FFS Provider Payments? The Aged, Blind, Disabled, LTC, and children eligible for California Children's Services (CCS) are among the greatest cost drivers of any Medi-Cal subpopulations and when the costs of other departments are included, these subpopulations are significant drivers of publically funded health care expenditures During calendar year 2007, Medi-Cal provider payments totaled $15.9 billion. Eighty-two percent of this total was associated with the FFS Medi-Cal program relative to payments made on behalf of beneficiaries enrolled in the FFS program, managed care carve-outs, and other special programs such as Family PACT, presumptive eligibles, etc. 2

The remaining 18 percent of the FFS provider payments were associated with beneficiaries enrolled in Medi-Cal managed care plans for services that the contracting plans did not assume risk for, and programs such as Family PACT and the Presumptive Eligible Program. 4

The adult Aged, Blind, Disabled, and LTC populations generated a PMPM cost of $622, while the child Aged, Blind, Disabled, and LTC groups generated a PMPM cost of $457. Children not enrolled in a Blind, Disabled, or LTC aid code displayed the lowest PMPM cost ($79). Children eligible for FFS Medi-Cal with a CCS condition generated the highest cost PMPM ($3,824). 5

The Services reflected were not part of the contract. 19
20 Medi-Cal s CCS Population 20
21 Program Intent: What Is The Purpose of The CCS Program? The primary purpose of the CCS program is to provide necessary medical services to physically handicapped persons under the age of 21 whose parents are unable to pay for such services. Basic goals of the program are: Locate handicapped children in need of medical care. Encourage families to obtain services for maximum physical, mental, social and educational development of the child. Provide needed financial assistance for families unable to pay. 21
22 What Are the Medical Eligibility Criteria for CCS Enrollment? The medical eligibility criterion is outlined in regulation and includes a variety of medical conditions and treatment criteria. Examples of CCS-eligible Conditions: Certain Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases Rheumatoid Arthritis Chronic Lung Diseases Congenital Anomalies Diseases of Blood or Blood-forming organs such as Hemophilia Neonates and Infants in a CCSapproved Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and require specific services Neoplasms which constitute a significant disability Cerebral Palsy Uncontrolled Idiopathic Epilepsy Enrollment into the CCS program is dependent on a review of records by a CCS program consultant or designee to ensure that the individual meets the medical eligibility criteria. CCS also provides medical therapy services (22 CCR ) Source: California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 2, Subdivision 7, Chapter 3, Article 2 22
23 Other CCS Program Enrollment Requirements Must be a resident of California; and Be under the age of 21; and Have a family income under $40,000 based on the adjusted gross income. The Family Income Rule may be waived under certain conditions including fullscope Medi-Cal or Healthy Families enrollment. Source: Health and Safety Code, Section and
24 Relationship Between CCS and Medi-Cal Managed Care Plans Most Medi-Cal Managed Care Plans do not cover CCS-authorized services, but remain responsible for providing primary care and prevention services not related to the CCS-eligible condition. Expenditures for CCS-enrollees in Medi-Cal Managed Care Plans included both FFS and managed care capitation payments.

Sorting the beneficiaries in descending order by cost and dividing them into percentiles of 100, (23,780 beneficiaries), we can see that the most expensive centile, or one, one-percent, generated $1.27 bil.
